St. Andrew's Episcopal School

The mission of St. Andrew's Episcopal School is to know and inspire each child in an inclusive community dedicated to exceptional teaching, learning, and service. Founded in 1978, St. Andrew's is a co-educational independent day school, enrolling 650 students in preschool through grade 12. St. Andrew's 19-acre Postoak Campus has been enhanced in recent years with the addition of the 43,000 square-foot Student Center and Izzo Quadrangle (2016) and 31,000 square-foot Lower School (2019). St. Andrew's faculty and staff uphold a powerfully innovate, positive culture that challenges and supports one of the most broadly diverse student bodies in greater Washington. The school seeks growth-minded, highly motivated, collaborative leaders that will continue the school's growth and focus on the development of each student's and employee's full potential. Through its Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning (www.thecttl.org), St. Andrew's has become a global leader in Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE) Science, including training thousands of educators worldwide and cultivating a research-based approach to teaching and learning throughout St. Andrew's. As an Episcopal School, we seek to express the faith and perspective of the Episcopal Church in our chapel life, commitment to service-learning, religion curriculum, and in the overall character of our community. We strive to be an inclusive and hospitable community that welcomes and respects students and families from all faiths, including those who identify with no particular faith tradition. As a Responsive Classroom school, the Lower School provides a balance of academic rigor and emotional and social nurturing. From interdisciplinary design thinking projects, active participatory lessons, monthly field trips, service learning activities, teachers craft a positive, engaging, structured environment where students learn to become invested, self-motivated learners.
